The process for adopting a child is famously complex, with stringent checks and safeguards, whether adopting from within the UK or overseas
Writing in this week’s NLJ, Anthony Gold partner Fiona Lyon sets out the procedure, requirements and points to be aware of during adoption―both in the UK and from overseas.
Lyon’s article covers how children may come to be adopted, eligibility, the three stages of agency approval, subsequent support and the rights of the birth parent. On overseas adoption, she covers Hague Convention countries, restricted countries, court procedure and process.
